The Finders Keepers Spring/Summer 2009 market, Prue Upton

The markets will be held 7 and 8 May 2010 at Carriageworks contemporary art centre in Sydney’s inner west.

The Finders Keepers has a growing reputation in the art and design industry for showcasing new emerging designers and helping them gain exposure and opportunities to develop their brand presence with retailers and the media. The markets brings together new emerging and contemporary independent artists and designers of original and high creative standards across 80 stalls.

Event organisers aim to always introduce new designers and new product to cater for a wide range of our customers and supporters. Every market event is completely unique with new designers always introduced and the rotation of existing stallholders from previous events.

Markets entry is free and the event will feature free live music, with a cafe and bar open all day.

Due to the growing reputation of the event, participation in The Finders Keepers is highly competitive. Applicants must supply sufficient and clear information about themselves, their aims, product and the label.

Organisers are looking for:
– Creative and original work
– Commitment and passion to developing your label or project
– Presentation and professionalism with finished product
– Commitment to independent design
– Uniqueness in market place
– That the product is appropriate, suitable and viable for selling at the markets.

As the markets are committed to new emerging designers, designers or artists who are already well established will not be accepted.

Applications due 2 April 2010.
